Wildstar Delivers Quest Text In 150 Characters

If every MMO player is honest with themselves, there is always a time when you feel the urge to skip the wall of quest text or ESC out of that cutscene. Thats why developers of Wildstar have decided to present quests in good ol' Twitter fashion! Each quest is designed and developed around delivering the task to you with around 150 characters.

It might seem like a radical idea, but this approach quest text system is actually a well thought out concept. When picking up a quest, you want to know where to go and what to do. Why do I need the NPC to tell me that "The moon is shining bright in the midnight sky" when I can can clearly see it for myself? By cutting out these redundancies, Carbine Studios feels they can deliver objectives for quests in a much more streamlined fashion while not sacrificing any of the overlaying story.

The entire dev blog goes into details of their quest creating process so be sure to check out the entire post here.
